29 Things You Don't Know About Me

Well, hey! Hello! Hi! I'm still alive! It has been a crazy month, but things are on the up and up. I haven't blogged in a month, and my Bloglovin reading list is bursting at the seams. I'm completely out of the blogging loop! I feel like I need to reintroduce myself! Since today is my 29th birthday and I love lists so much, here are 29 things you don't know about me:

29.) I was spelling 12th
grade words in 4th grade. (I’d like to think I was intelligent, but
I probably got lucky.) 28.) My sister used to call
me her black sister because of my thick, frizzy hair and ability to tan in 20
minutes.

27.) I will always believe
that my brother is the sweetest guy on the planet.
26.) One of my favorite memories with my sister is
spending the last week of her freshman year of college in the dorms with her when I was
14. So much freaking fun!25.) I am a visual learner, and I am
fantastic with names (including spelling) once I’ve seen them in print.24.) The first movie to make me sob
was Imitation of Life. I was 8 years old.23.) My favorite rides at Disneyland
are Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, and The Flight of Peter Pan.22.) I love "Modern Family."21.) I was South San Diego’s Junior
Miss 2001. It was a “scholarship
program,” you guys. (There are quite a few Junior Miss references in the
film Drop Dead Gorgeous—which is hilarious, by the way!)20.) My coffee house go-to is a soy
chai latte.19.) My first concert was New Found
Glory in 2002.18.) I am forever indebted to my
parents for giving me braces.17.) I always have Kleenex in my
purse.16.) I kept a journal (many, actually)
until I was 20.15.) When I lived in NYC, I was
comfortable navigating the subway system after one week.14.) I like the end pieces of loaves
of bread.13.) I played Ariel in "The Little
Mermaid" when I was 16. Bright red wig and all!12.) I’m not a fan of breakfast unless
it’s my dad’s French toast or hot coca with a toasted peanut butter sandwich
cut into triangles (also from my dad).11.) I only use water-proof mascara.
Regular mascara never holds curl. (I curl the sweet life out of my stick-straight, Asian lashes.)10.) I write lists with check boxes.
Few things are more gratifying than checking off boxes, you know.9.) I’ve never gotten a speeding
ticket.8.) I married up. (Cha-ching!)7.) When I ate meat, I loved eating
chicken nuggets dipped in chocolate pudding. (Wow, that sounds terrible.)6.) I rode the bus to and from school
until high school.5.) I am painfully ticklish.4.) Some of my favorite moments with
my family are when we are laughing so hard that one or all of us have to curl
up on the floor and plug our ears to calm ourselves down.3.) I enjoy washing dishes. (I cannot
say the same for cooking.)2.) I have a tendency to watch movies
I like over and over.1.) I wish I had Eva Cassidy’s voice.

S is out of town for work, so I'm soaking up a day of doing whatever the heck I want -- complete with sleeping in this morning. Oh, and being Amelie's latest culinary masterpiece. 28 brought on a lot of (good) change, and I think 29 is going to be fantastic. Cheers to that!

In a Nutshell

Middle child. Working girl-mom of one. Married to my work crush that I swore I'd never date. My spirit animal is a mix of Sara Bareilles, Joanna Gaines, and a cat. A Ravenclaw married to a Gryffindor. Taking forever to finish my MBA, because #Parenting #Adulting #EducationReimbursement. I can go from feeling like a champ to a failure in parenting in three seconds flat, so basically, I'm nailing this first-time mom thing.
